When suffering with something in the body there is a tendency to attend only to the body where the problem is, but the scriptures says that what you put in your inner man is just as important if not more important. Words have a significant effect on our whole being spirit, soul, and body. Like 3John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. What do you think you prosper your soul with, words. Notice, the health of your outer man is connected to your inner man. In Proverbs 15:30 it says, The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. The words you take into your heart(not your blood pump) can have a powerful effect on your body. You see in Acts 14:7-10 And there they preached the gospel. 8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. That confirms Proverbs 4:20-23 my son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. That word health is translated- medicine, remedy, healing, and cure.

Proverbs 14:30 says A sound heart is the life of the flesh. The condition of your heart, inner man, has an effect on your flesh. That's why Proverbs 18:14 says, The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble AMPC Version. What makes the spirit strong is the words you feed into it. You see in Matthew 12:34 that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And the words you speak are important in Proverbs 12:18 says, the tongue(words) of the wise is health (healing). Proverbs 16:24 says, Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. You see again words have an effect on your soul and body. Your words in line with God's word can bring healing to your body and that I know to be true by personal experience. So, I'm not just telling you something off the top of my head, but what I saw in the word and did and received healing. What you feed into your inner man is of vital importance that's why Proverbs 4:23 says, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. That word keep some say guard your heart with all diligence, what do you think you guard your heart from, words. What you allow into your heart is of vital importance. There is even a thing called "Medical Student Syndrome" where medical students studying a disease and their bodies start experiencing the same symptoms of a disease they are studying. If those words going into a persons heart can have that kind of effect on their bodies, that's Proverbs 4:20-23 on the negative side. What you give your eyes and ears to is being fed into your heart. If those words can have that kind of effect how much more the word of God have the effect of healing on a body.

It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

.
.
Want money freedom? Set a goal, make a plan, and save! Earning isn’t easy when you don’t know what your talents or gifts are to create it, then talk about keeping it the little you earned? Now that's a challenge. saving is simple - spend less than you make.

(This verse highlights the danger of excessive spending on luxuries)
Here’s how to enjoy Pleasure in its finest and these secrets are not hidden from you, my work basically is allowing you judge between what could be right or wrong from your own understanding, it’s not necessarily saving and trying hard to spend little and save more, we are also concerned with expanding our income or cashflow to accommodate more spending, let’s look at Ecclesiastes
.
.
Ecclesiastes 11:2
Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. (NKJV)
:::
Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. (NIV)
:::
But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead. (NLT)

When DJ Anyaloko....the journalist interviewing 2Face Idibia asked him why he chose to marry Annie Idibia out of all the women in his life ?
He relaxed back on his sit, took a deep breathe in reflection and gently answered her with this:

“You see, Perro Adeniyi who gave birth to my first son graduated from a top UK University as a medical student and is now a doctor.

She is very beautiful and intelligent from a very wealthy family”. He continued “Sandra who gave birth to my other two kids is a dealer in expensive diamond and gold jewelries. She was already a multi-millionaire when I met her, she owns one of the most expensive houses in Banana Island. Her family too are very well to do”. He took another deep breathe and continued “Sumbo who gave birth to 2 kids for me is also a very intelligent first class Lawyer. She has worked on and won many big cases for so many wealthy men and women in this country and abroad, that’s how she made her money and she Too is very beautiful as well”.

Then with a loving gentle smile on his Face he took another deep breathe and said this “But you see Annie is from an average background like myself, we both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus and trekked with me, when there was no money or house or hit songs or or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades, when I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look into my eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasn’t handsome, she would call me her Prince Charming, when I wasn’t celebrated, she called me her KING and said she is my number one fan and to this day she still is. Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies.

Now if I was still that poor boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a Doctor, a Lawyer and a multi-millionaire business woman will want to look at me twice or even have my kids? NO. So to answer your question, I didn’t chose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very little”

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
Isaiah 49:24

According to the word of God, anyone who catches prey with a trap like I described yesterday can legally lay claim to it. There are lawful captives of the enemy. We have tried to cast demons out of people before, and they would say, “You are trespassing because this fellow belongs to us. They walked into our trap.” for example, I once had a student who was on his way to his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) station when he fell sick. The doctor said he was allergic to rice. When they brought him to me, and as I was about to pray for him, the Lord said that he had to make restitution. It turned out his father stole a neighbour’s bicycle to pay his school fees, and the owner placed a curse on the thief. His father died from an allergic reaction to rice, and now the son was on the same path. If that had not been revealed to me, we would have prayed in futility because the boy was a lawful captive.

I told him to buy a bicycle for the man’s son because the man was late. Incidentally, when he returned after doing so, I was about to eat rice. He ate my rice, finished it, and nothing happened to him. Another boy was brought to me for prayers because he was barking. This boy had been having sex with their dog in the house. I prayed, but the barking did not stop. I advised the parents to keep bringing him for the Holy Ghost service every month and be hopeful that God will have mercy and deliver the lawful captive from his captor. When a fellow walks into the trap of the enemy after being lured by his or her lust, the devil can lawfully lay a claim on the fellow.

In James 1:12-16, Apostle James tells us clearly that God does not tempt anyone, but rather, people are tempted by their own lusts, which result in sin and then death eventually. The bait the devil uses does not usually look like death. The bait has three major qualities to make it effective: it is usually attractive to the prey, it is pleasant to the prey’s taste, and it invokes the prey’s pride.

I will discuss these qualities in detail in the following days because I believe God that after this study, you will never fall into the devil’s trap.
Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye.

Scripture Text: Luke 4:18

In Isaiah 61:1–3, the prophet outlined the mission that God had predetermined for the Messiah, which was to minister to the needs of those who were disadvantaged and destitute. He started off by saying, "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to those who are economically disadvantaged." As the Bible says in Isaiah 61:1, "He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners of the prisoner's heart." Seven hundred years later, Jesus Christ opened His public ministry by speaking from this very book, applying Isaiah’s words to Himself: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. According to Luke 4:18–19, "He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, and to proclaim the year of the favour of the Lord." Upon reaching the conclusion, Jesus declared, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:21), thereby establishing Himself as the Messiah and Servant-King that was promised to Israel and who would proclaim good news to those who were in need.


What Does It Mean to Spread the Good News to the Poor?

We refer to a positive announcement as "good news." The phrase "proclaim good news" refers to the act of announcing or communicating a message that contains positive information about some recent or significant events. The Greek verb euangelizomai describes this manner of behavior. The New Testament authors specifically attributed this word to the act of proclaiming or preaching the gospel, known as evangelion. The phrase "proclaiming the good news" refers to God's message of salvation for sinful mankind through the death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ. The English word 'evangelise' is derived from the verb 'euangelizomai'. When we preach the message of salvation in Jesus Christ, we are evangelizing. This means that we are proclaiming the good news, which is that the kingdom of God has come to earth in the person of God's own son, who brings with him the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life (Matthew 4:23; Romans 10:15).

The Old Testament used the term "the poor" to describe people who did not inherit anything, who were economically disadvantaged and had a low social rank, or who were oppressed, downtrodden, disadvantaged, and destitute. Not only were the poor helpless, but they were also dependent on influential individuals and unfavourable conditions. The term "poor" also refers to people who are dependent on God every day. The Psalms, in particular, use the concept of poverty both literally and symbolically to demonstrate the impoverished's reliance on God as their protector, deliverer, and saviour (Psalm 12:6; 35:10; 102:17; 116:6).

The New Testament carries over these ideas of "the poor," referring to both those living in poverty and those humble and living by faith in God as "the poor." In the great Sermon on the Mount that Jesus Christ delivered, the Lord begins with the Beatitudes, preaching that "God blesses you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours" (Luke 6:20, New Living Translation). Matthew 5:3 describes people as "poor in spirit" when they recognise their own spiritual destitution. They realise that they are in dire need of God, and they turn to Him in order to receive the most abundant blessings that God lovingly provides through trust in Jesus Christ. John the Baptist, imprisoned, conversed with Jesus to confirm his identity as the promised Messiah for Israel. "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor" (Luke 7:22). This is the response that Jesus gave to John.

According to Matthew 11:2, one of the authoritative signs that Jesus was the Messiah was the fact that He communicated the good news to those who were in need. The argument that James made was as follows: "Hasn't God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? "They are the ones who will inherit the kingdom that He promised to those who love him, aren't they? "

A New Living Translation of James 2:5 "When it came to the poor people whom Christ came to save," the apostle Paul explained the breadth of Christ's selfless generosity, saying, "You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ." Even though He was wealthy, He chose to become poor for your sake, so that through His lack of wealth, He could make you wealthy (2 Corinthians 8:9, New Living Translation).

Proclaiming the good news of salvation to those who were in need was the primary purpose of the entire mission that Jesus Christ carried out. In both a tangible and a spiritual sense, Jesus is a Saviour who fulfils the needs of those who are in need. A further point to consider is that He completely satisfies them (Luke 1:53; 6:20–21; Matthew 5:6).

However, it is important to know that you must be born again and Spirit-filled to be able to spread the good news. Without the Spirit of God upon you, you cannot share the Gospel to the poor. Similar to our Scripture text today, Romans 10:9–14 makes it clear that you must be first be saved before you can preach salvation to others.

[b]"9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 for there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[/b]Romans 10:9–14 (NIV).

If you are reading this and you are not saved, now is the time to give your life to Christ, for tomorrow may be too late. I'll encourage you to say this short prayer as you open your heart to Jesus Christ:

"Lord Jesus, I come to You now. Come into my life, take control of my life and change my world. I say bye-bye to the devil, I enter into the Kingdom of Light. Thank You, Jesus Christ; Your in Mighty Name, I pray, amen."

Congratulations!!!

God bless you.

Peace!

It's not so.

Loud violent Prayers with neck veins popping, blind castings, ignorant bindings, trying to order your Creator around through your songs "pick up your mighty sword AND FIGHT my BATTLE" "He IS WORTHY of my praise" like he's your house help or you have suddenly become equals (and it terribly disgust me to type that part) is NOT THE ANSWER...

if not Christians would all be enjoying the best lives on earth and General Overseers and their children by means of their supposed closeness to God would live long!

Exactly. You don't cancel out death. You don't seize death by the neck and bind it.
There are few people -- VERY few people -- who have abilities given to them by God Almighty who can do one or two but that doesn't mean you can pray your way into such with entitlement on your lips.


One would think the General overseer of RCCG would see his own son's death by virtue of his supposed closeness to whatever god he worships

BUT WHAT HAPPENED

EXACTLY!

SAME script

SAME scenario that happened during Ebola and COVID-19 period. All The General overseers, Pastors, Primates or whatever all went blind!!

THEY DIDN'T SEE THE PANDEMIC OF THE DECADE COMING.

You have to understand that these men are failable, just like you and I: They shit, they piss, scratch their penis too, shave...even fart louder than you do sometimes...they're bound to make same mistakes you do...same way your Bible teaches that Elijha beheaded the prophets of Baal...he was not supposed to take a life which he did not give and by so doing, he tried contending with the spiritual laws and on reincarnation as John the Baptist, HE GOT BEHEADED TOO!

random huh

Aren't you tired of being played a Bigger FOool all your life.

Rain will wet, Grass will be green and the sun will not be cold...THESE ARE NOT PROPHECIES -- THEY'RE even better than PREDICTIONS because they have a higher chance of happening...
They're just statements that anybody can make

These men seeking to profit off you release these statements at the beginning of the year and call them prophecies and then they witifully AND CAREFULLY tell you, the church goer craving to be deceived, to pray very well so that such calamity can be avoided. and when none of their statements come to pass, they will say their god answered your prayers and stopped the calamity from happening.

just same way they told you 2023 was your year and on getting to 2024, they then told you that you did not pray enough.

" a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian" they say

You buy stickers with the image of your General overseer and pastors on it and paste on the door of the house in which your whole family reside -- but now, TB Joshua is dead.

No man lives forever and your favorite pastors and G.O will be next...maybe probably after you. or before you

What are you gonna do about the sticker of your DEAD favorite pastor on your door of your own personal house.

Would you want to wear the wrist band of a dead pastor who couldn't even save himself or his own child from death and be expecting long Life

IF the General overseer cant even protect himself from death, what makes you think having the sticker of a dead General overseer on the door of your house or on your car window will protect you and your children from death.

HOW ARE YOU SURE IT WONT EVEN HASTEN THE DEATH OF NOT ONLY YOURSELF BUT YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN ALSO.

Why endanger the life of your loved ones because of ignorance. You brought it upon them. It was supposed to be your responsibility to take care of them and shield them from harm but you surrendered them to terrible harm. Now you're reading this piece that resonates deeply within you...now you know what to do.


TB Joshua is dead, and so is Adeboye's son. Dead, buried and forgotten like ever other mortal.


If general overseers could not pray and bind long life into them and into the lives of their precious children, what makes you think that YOU, an ordinary church member would be given such a 'supernatural benefit'


and YES, you're JUST an ordinary church member.

after all, you willingly called them Men of god. so that makes you what. Men and women of the devil.

and this post will be concluded with these TWO QUESTIONS

1) If Jesus, the son of God didn't build any church or work with the church elders to build one during his time on Earth, what then make YOU believe that one ordinary mortal man has any right whatsoever to build one petty fancy building and call it a shelter for THE CREATOR. Imagine building a physical house for a Spiritual being.

https://www.nairaland.com/6512493/church-needs-dont-need-church

2) What happens when your General Overseers and their children die before you.
WHEN the man image you have on the church sticker plastered on your car windows and house doors ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE YOU.

Is that the time common sense will tell you to remove those stickers and wristbands from your life and the life of your loved ones. OR do you want to keep the sticker of a dead man probably facing judgement on the doors of your house.

Aren't your grandfathers and grandmothers dead. Why isn't there a sticker of their face on your car window and house doors for 'Divine protection'

or you believe because they died old and weak, they won't have the strength in the Spiritual realm to protect you and your loved ones

AS YOU WERE

The concept of God is central to many religions and belief systems worldwide. It shapes individuals' understanding of the universe, their place in it, and their moral and ethical values. In exploring the concept of God, one is faced with a myriad of beliefs, each shaped by cultural, historical, and personal factors. At the core of these beliefs lies the fundamental question: What is the basic concept of God?

Identifying the Basic Concept of God:

The basic concept of God varies widely across religions. for monotheistic faiths like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, God is seen as the ultimate creator and ruler of the universe. In contrast, polytheistic religions like Hinduism believe in multiple gods, each responsible for different aspects of life. Additionally, some belief systems, such as pantheism, view God as synonymous with the universe itself.

Though people tend to assume that the monotheistic faiths mentioned above worship the same God, there are some differences in the identities of these Gods. Let's see a very simple comparison.

Christianity:

Basic Concept: In Christianity, God is seen as the supreme being who created the universe and governs it with love and justice. God is also believed to have revealed Himself through Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.
Similarities: Christianity shares with other monotheistic religions the belief in one God who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving. There is also a focus on the moral and ethical teachings attributed to God.
Differences: The concept of the Trinity, which includes the Father, son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one God, sets Christianity apart from other monotheistic religions. Additionally, the belief in Jesus as the son of God and the Savior of humanity is unique to Christianity.

Islam:

Basic Concept: In Islam, God, known as Allah, is viewed as the creator and sustainer of the universe. Muslims believe in the absolute oneness of God and reject the concept of the Trinity.
Similarities: Islam shares with Christianity the belief in one God who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-merciful. Both religions emphasize the importance of following God's commandments and living a righteous life.
Differences: Islam rejects the divinity of Jesus and the concept of the Trinity, which are central to Christian beliefs. Additionally, Islam emphasizes the importance of submission to God's will, which is reflected in the term "Islam" itself, meaning submission.

Judaism:

Basic Concept: Judaism views God as the creator of the universe and the source of moral law. Jews believe in the covenant between God and the Jewish people, as revealed in the Torah.
Similarities: Like Christianity and Islam, Judaism is monotheistic, believing in one God who is all-powerful and all-knowing. There is also a focus on ethical monotheism, emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior.
Differences: Judaism does not accept Jesus as the Messiah or the son of God, which sets it apart from Christianity. Additionally, Judaism has a different understanding of the nature of God's covenant with humanity compared to Islam and Christianity.
While Christianity, Islam, and Judaism share similarities in their basic concept of God as a supreme being who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving, there are differences in their understanding of the nature of God, the role of Jesus, and the concept of divine revelation. These differences have contributed to the distinct identities of these religions.

The truth of the matter is that though these three seem to share a common history, because each traced its root through Abraham to Adam, there is a difference in their belief and the characteristics of their Gods which will make one assume that these do not talk of nor worship the same entity as God. Let's compare these.

Yahweh in Hebrew Tradition:
Origin: The name Yahweh, often translated as "LORD" in English Bibles, is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). The exact origin of the name is uncertain, but it is understood to be derived from the Hebrew verb "to be," indicating God's eternal and unchanging nature.
Similarity to Allah: Both Yahweh and Allah are monotheistic conceptions of God, emphasizing His oneness and uniqueness. They are seen as the creator and sustainer of the universe, and both are characterized by attributes such as mercy, justice, and omnipotence.
Allah in Islamic Tradition:
Origin: The name Allah is the Arabic word for God and is used by Muslims to refer to the one true God. It is believed to be derived from the Arabic root word "ilah," meaning deity or god.
Similarity to Yahweh: Like Yahweh, Allah is understood to be the creator and sustainer of the universe in Islam. Muslims also believe in the oneness and uniqueness of Allah, rejecting any notion of partners or associates with Him.

Their Place in Christianity:

Yahweh in Christianity: In Christianity, Yahweh is understood as the God of the Old Testament, who is seen as the same God worshiped by Christians. However, the Christian understanding of God is further developed through the revelation of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the son of God and the Savior of humanity.

Allah in Christianity: While Christians do not use the name Allah to refer to God, they recognize the similarities between the God of the Old Testament called Yahweh and the God of Islam. Both religions worship the same God, even though their understandings and interpretations may differ.

Identity of God

We have two basic identities of the person of God. On one side is Yahweh of the Jews, who is also the God of the Old Testament Bible and the God of Islam. On the other side is the God and father of Jesus, who is the father of the God of the New Testament Christians. Let's take a look at the basic differences between these two entities.

The basic difference between the Father of Jesus and the God of the Old Testament lies in their perceived characteristics and the way they are portrayed in Scripture. Here are some key differences, along with scriptural references:

Nature and Character:
God of the Old Testament: Often portrayed as a God of justice, judgment, and holiness. He punishes sin and disobedience, and His wrath is emphasized in several passages (Exodus 34:6-7, Nahum 1:2-3).
Father of Jesus: Portrayed as a God of love, mercy, and compassion. Jesus emphasized the Father's love for humanity and His desire for a relationship with His children (John 3:16, Matthew 5:43-48).

Relationship with Humanity:
God of the Old Testament: Emphasizes obedience to His commandments and laws as the basis for the relationship with humanity (Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 28:1-14).
Father of Jesus: Emphasizes love and grace as the basis for the relationship with humanity. Jesus taught that the Father desires a personal, loving relationship with His children (John 14:23, Romans 5:.

Revelation and Understanding:
God of the Old Testament: Revealed primarily through the law and the prophets, with an emphasis on His holiness and justice.
Father of Jesus: Revealed through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate revelation of God's character (John 1:18, Hebrews 1:1-3).

Salvation and Redemption:
God of the Old Testament: Salvation is often portrayed in terms of deliverance from physical enemies and restoration to the land of Israel (Isaiah 45:21, Jeremiah 30:10-11).
Father of Jesus: Salvation is portrayed in terms of forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:19-20).

While both the Father of Jesus and the God of the Old Testament are understood as the same God, there is a perceived difference in emphasis and portrayal. The Father of Jesus is seen as emphasizing love, mercy, and grace, while the God of the Old Testament is often portrayed as emphasizing justice, judgment, and obedience. These differences are reflective of the progressive revelation of God's character throughout Scripture, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ.

The Confusion Within Christianity: A Critical Examination

Christianity, as a major world religion, has often been criticized for its perceived confusion and contradictions. Several factors contribute to this perception, including the way Christians understand and worship God, the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, and the diversity of beliefs within the religion.

Syncretism in Christian Worship:
Christianity claims to be a monotheistic religion, worshiping one God. However, critics argue that the Christian concept of God is syncretic, drawing characteristics from various religious traditions.
for example, the Christian God is often described as loving and merciful (similar to concepts in other religions), yet also just and wrathful (as seen in the Old Testament).

Changing Character of God:
Critics also point to the perceived ability of Christians to change the character of their God based on their own desires or wishes.
This is seen in how different Christian denominations interpret and emphasize different aspects of God's character, leading to varying beliefs about topics such as salvation, morality, and the afterlife.

Confusion between Old and New Testament Gods:
Another source of confusion within Christianity is the perceived conflation of the characters of the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament.
Critics argue that Christians struggle to find a name for their God, leading them to adopt names from other religions (e.g., Yahweh from Judaism), which can lead to a misunderstanding of the distinct characteristics of these deities.

Lack of Cohesion:
Unlike some other religions that have a more centralized authority or set of beliefs, Christianity is characterized by a wide range of beliefs and practices.
This lack of cohesion can lead to confusion among both adherents and outsiders, as different Christian groups may have vastly different interpretations of key theological concepts.

Human Creation of God:
Finally, critics argue that Christianity, like many religions, is a product of human invention rather than divine revelation.
They point to the historical development of Christian theology and the adoption of pagan rituals and beliefs as evidence that Christianity is a human construct rather than a divine truth.

Conclusion
While Christianity has been a source of comfort and guidance for billions of people worldwide, it is not without its complexities and contradictions. The perceived confusion within Christianity highlights the challenges of interpreting and understanding a religion that has evolved over millennia and continues to adapt to changing cultural and societal norms.

Realistically? There’s only two kinds of Christian, It doesn’t matter what kind (denomination) of Christian you are; there are still only two types: one is the member of a Christian religion who worships a polytheistic God or God of the old testament, and the other is someone who is actively living like Jesus and worships the God and father of Jesus.

We are not talking salvation here, because we cannot say if salvation can be affected by these, but we do know that Jesus said he that will come to the father must come through him, and anyone not following the God of Jesus apparently did not go through Jesus because you cannot follow Jesus and arrive at Yahweh or Allah. Not the name literally, but the characteristics.

A person is identified by his characteristics, so when you worship or pray to a God who destroys lives or takes revenge and brings misfortune to others because they are not in your good book, you need to ask yourself, what God am I worshipping? We are not talking of making or not making heaven, that is for God alone to decide, but really which God are you worshipping? This is a very long article, I had to shorten it for the sake of the audience, I hope to come up with a book someday on this subject. I will love reactions to this post.

YOU HAVE WHAT YOU SAY - Part 45.

Romans 10:8-10 (KJV) "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.".

45. Confession is hearing, so we must confess what will give us faith, not what will condemn us or diminish us in Christ. You can never rise above your confession. A sinner confessing his sins before he can be saved negates and is contrary to the finished work of Christ. The bible says while we were yet sinners Christ died and forgave all our sins, no longer imputing them on us. Salvation is not by holiness. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. Confessing you are a sinner and asking God to forgive you your sins and save you is unbelief in what Christ had already done.

It is trying to be saved by your own works of accepting you are a sinner and begging God to save you. We don't ask God to save us. We are already saved in Christ, we only hear the good news that we are already saved in Christ and then accept it by faith by confessing Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. We are not asking and begging him to be our Lord and Saviour but we are receiving Him as our Lord and Saviour. Begging God to save a sinner is unbelief and hypocrisy.

He has been saved in Christ 200O years ago. It is God who is begging him through the gospel to accept His free gift of salvation to him. We only pray God to have mercy on the unbeliever and help him to hear and believe the gospel. We don't pray to God to save sinners or beg Him to save sinners. The bible says the harvest of souls is ripe, what God is looking for are labourers to bring them in. Thank you. Grace be with you. Ref. Romans 5:8-9; 6:3-14; 8:37; 10:6-10,17; Mark 11:23; Matthew 6:24; 9:37-38; 12:37; 1John 1:9; Hebrews 3:1; Philippians 2:5-11; Proverbs 6:2; Ephesians 1:7; 2Corinthians 5:19;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God, in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. for with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God, have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you.

Stubborn Children can make the parents' lives miserable.

It is worthy of note that parents pray not to have stobborn children.

After being faced with a stubborn child, i thought of many ways to subdue him, they failed. Lastly, i adopted a very hilarious, but functional method to tame him. Here is how "I Just Subdued A Stubborn son. See How".

it may be with tears and great heaviness of heart and sorrow to families of the deceased and bereaved.
what I say is may the comfort of the Holy Spirit locate you in Jesus mighty name.

The lord Jesus Christ is taken many beloved through deaths because the churches and a lot of ministers have all failed God in upholding the standards of His holiness and defending his Faith!!!

Let me make it clear that many of the people dying now are dying at shocking ages !!!
It is not because they have sinned, it is because Jesus Christ is taking them away before the evil day and also taking them away when their righteousness is complete!!!!

Most of these deaths are peaceful and are not violent but they are also painful because nobody wants to die but let us see where the hope of a Christian lies .

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;


15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
15:3 for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
15:16 for if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Those who are dying now are in paradise and have left this wretched world full of sin and misery.
Just as painful as it is to loose a loved one, on the other side, in Heaven, they rejoice that someone has come to the Eternal Home!!!
one thing we who are alive and remain should note is that we must live
1)A Holy life- God's nature is Holiness and christians are going to be raptured to meet a Holy God .
Enoch the first man was so holy that God took him alive into paradise.
Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

If the body we are carrying is going to be dissolved and eaten up by worms and maggots when we die, then we seek a heavenly home and body which cannot be corrupted.
If also this present world we are in is going to be melted , and the elents burnt with a great fire and dissolved then we seek a continuing city where in dwells righteousness!!!
2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Just as people on earth talk about going to their homes on earth when they are in a travel so also we Christians on earth must continue to preach and talk about the kingdom of God!!!!
One message that should be paramount now is about the coming Rapture !
This is how we should live for the remaining days of our lives before Death or the Rapture comes.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
2) In soberness: To be sober means to be gentle , mild and calm at all time and in all situations knowing that at any moment something can happen to us or what happen to us should not make us become riotous and lousy.
1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Since a lot of christians don't know that the end of the world is at hand, they also don't know that at any time their lifetime on earth can end!
we can only know this and have it at the back of our mind when we are sober and vigilant regarding our present state and condition!
It is pertinent to note that the end of all things is truly at hand and Jesus Christ is about to sound the trumpet and take the saints away.
A Christian also must be sober at all OCCASSIONS knowing that Satan the adversary lurks about seeking whom to destroy.
This soberness is to be also at heart!!!
Guarding our heart for out of it are the issue of life!
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
To also be sober involves discipline, taking ones cross up and denying ungodly lusts and all forms of pleasures.
it is a choice not to become lousy and boastful or boisterous no matter the level of excitement because of Satan hunt.
Many Christians throw caution to the wind at ceremonies ,exposing themselves to satanic traps and attacks.
some eat food to stupor forgetting that godliness with contentment is a great deal.
Many others also forget their identity as christians when given a privilege.
They go overboard and don't know when to take a bow when the occassion is the loudest!
some. love attention they get from men and the loudest ovations.
This is why they are not sober in this vain world.
Are you the type that likes to do things without moderation eg you dress , talk, walk, eat, drink, sleep out of proportion
you take too much comfort out of proportion?
you forget whom you represent is Jesus Christ!
some even become selfish and proud and show off too much out of proportion!!!
Spiritual pride is one of the ways one can never be sober!
we fail to see our faults and errors but continue to pick on others with hateful rebukes!
Romans 12:3 for I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
no Christian must think for once that they are better than others!
We must all think selflessly knowing that the lord is whom we live for and die for at any time.
2 Corinthians 5:13 for whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
our course of action must be filled with soberness.
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Timothy 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
Titus 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Titus 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Titus 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

3)In Humility- Pride is the opposite of humility!
To be humble in service as a leader means to serve others than to be served!
Mark 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
The sons of Eli who behaved like children of Belial in their time we're always after the chiefest things and we're unwilling to serve others.
They made the sacrifices of God a reproach to the people of God.
1 Samuel 2:29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Eli also couldn't rebuke his proud sons !
Luke 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
when the disciples strove along the way, Jesus Christ spoke to them about how to be humble.
To receive the kingdom of God as a child means to also accept everyone who is coming to Jesus Christ and not to prevent or hinder anyone who comes to Jesus Christ!!!
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Spiritual PRIDE will never allow a Christian or a Christian leader to accept others or submit to any one younger than them!
Since Humility- is the greatest height of RIGHTEOUSNESS, pride is the greatest height of unrighteousness!
This is because a proud person is far from God!
God cannot answer the proud or prayer of the proud.
Psalms 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
some people will claim to know God, but God doesn't know them not does Jesus Christ recognize them because of their pride!!!
Since Jesus Christ says that many people have failed him it is clear that they were not humble in serving him and in serving others.
Pride also is self seeking attention and recognition of men than Gods seeking glory and honour!!!
Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Spiritual pride is inward to outward , whilst abomination is outward to inward.
Those who have spiritual pride think onwards about themselves and it manifest outwards .
When Satan thought of himself, this thought manifested outward and pushed him to lead a rebellion against God.
That thought was an iniquity in his once perfect heart.
The action became a treachery and unpardonable sin.
sometimes when we look at what makes people pride today we still factor it as , beauty, position, power, influence and prosperity.
A lot of people become proud when they prosper and don't become humble again.
Jeremiah 22:21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
Anyone who does not listen to rebukes, correction, instruction and reproof from anyone is proud !
They are not humble and willing to learn.
such people are spiritually novice and will fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
The pride of life today is how people get things extra large and also how they are entertained and entertain others to the detriment of their soul just like the rich fool who boasted in his carnal security!!
1 John 2:16 for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
pride doesn't save but it destroys the soul.
The rich fool had no answer to a righteous God after dwelling on his carnal security!
Proverbs 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
Proverbs 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Isaiah 16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
4)In meekness:meekness is one of the fruits of the spirit without no law.
To be meek means to be softness of temper; mildness; gentleness; forbearance under injuries and provocations; unrepining submission.
Jesus Christ was lowly and meek.
When a fellow Christian commits a trespass or transgressions or sins or iniquity we who are not in such category must consider the fallen one to restore and lift them up in meekness!!!
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
since two are better than one, we must remember to also consider that we can be also in such a similar position.
However, when many people fall nowadays , how do fellow Christians handle such?
some revert to doing the work of the accuser! ie slander and gossip or backbite or evil speak about the fallen man of God or fellow church member!
They are not meek at all and do not pray for restoration and healing of such wounded Christian!
it's better to lift one up than make see them fall!
Though the righteous man will fall seven times, yet. he will rise again!
Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
4)Restitution: Some Christians need to perform restitution personally or collectively.
Exodus 22:5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
in lay man's terms it means returning things that need to be returned!
Returning things not ones own!
Exodus 22:6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
someone who is the cause of making things lost will return it also.
Jesus Christ will be received in heaven until the restitution of all things.
Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
6) Sanctification: constant washing of onesself by the blood of Jesus Christ and by the word of God always.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
when a Christian sins, they are naked at that instant!
when we are washed in the blood of the lamb is also when we have constant fellowship with God the father and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all our unrighteousness!!
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin.
Without continuous confession of sins, fellowship with God , a believer cannot work in the light or walk with God.
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
sometimes when we depart from God or do not fellowship with God he father, it's like us returning back to our vomit or the old nature of the flesh which is carnal to God!
2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
we go back again to the old nature.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy unclothedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
I pray that the love God will continue to wax strong in us and keep. us until the end in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

There are 85 works of the flesh in scripture which are all the workings of sin in the flesh.
one of them is called "Without Natural affection!
When we go into the meaning of affection we discover that affection is a "disposition or state of mind or body" commonly linked to a feeling or type of love!
We also note that love is God and God is love and God's love is the only perfect love that exists as all others are not totally perfect.
Love is forgiveness in action!.
Therefore to have an affection unnaturally would mean to be fond of someone for ulterior motives other than the well-being of that person.
such motives may be that of an imperfect type of love which is passion, romance, infatuations, obsessions, lusts ,perversion or selfishness!
Being without natural affection is also a cyclical exploitation of the one to whom affection is shown to.

A lot of people who do not have the love of God in them or whose love is not yet perfect may experience this kind of affection at one stage of their lives.

They may also be a victim or a perpetrator of such wrongful affections so as to understand the negative side of it all.

Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people for a reason.
in all, one thing that is important is for one to repent of such wrongful affections if one was the victim or the perpetrators!
1) Love and hate type of affection-There are many people who love you in the morning and hate you at evening!
such an affection is not natural but full of stealth and deceit.
These people may have you for their use and later dump you!
Examples of such
a)Amnon and Tamar- in this case Amnon was the perpetrator and Tamar was the victim of such unaturaly affection.
Amnon's love towards Tamar wasn't perfect.
it was full of pretense, and imposition with bad influence and counsel from a bad friend.
Amnon never considered Tamar's condition but became selfish to an extent that he disregarded the tribe culture and tradition regarding matters of marriage even when Tamar pleaded with him to be reasonable for she had agreed already to marry him if only he asked the King
2 Samuel 13:12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
It was a relationship that blossomed into an inappropriate one.
After Amnon had forced her and violated her through RAPE, he hated her than the love he had for her.
This type of affection was not natural at all.
it started with imperfect love, impatience, force and then ended in rape.
shame and reproach became what Tamar had to bear while Amnon enjoyed few minutes of folly and pleasure that made him hate the one he loved forever!!!
One of the attributes of love is that it doesn't behave unseemly!
2 Samuel 13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
we can say that in today's modern expression , Amnon had obsessive love disorder!
He may have become aggressive with the person he claimed to love and this must have scared Tamar also for her to say don't force me!
Many perpetrators of such acts were also once victims and many victims were also once perpetrators in a cycle of which one rule is common to all.
what this means is that whatsoever a man sows that will be reap
This also means that just as bad things happen to Good people, good things happen to bad people depending on their own definition of good and evil.
However , before God, what is evil, some.
men call it good and vice versa .
This brings damnation on some men.
what happened to Amnon later?
Amnon died by the hands of his own brother!
2 Samuel 13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
13:29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

it is pertinent to note that Tamar became desolate for the remaining part of her life as no one married her because of the culture and tradition .
but Amnon also never ended well.
2 Samuel 13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
Love doesn't behave unseemly!
1 Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Amnon became obsessive and behaved unseemly by pretending to be sick when he was not!
2 Samuel 13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
13:4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
While Tamar had compassion, she never suspected anything strange .
Amnon also sought his own wellbeing than that of Tamar's.

Amnon became easily provoked and also now thought evil to an extent he cast out Tamar whom he loved!!!

This shows that sex is not love nor love sex and premarital sex is not love nor love sex wether consent or no consent!!!
These therefore are the things , we must take note off!!!
Many people may have a spiritual problem of an inherited curse that permits sexual immoral behaviors which are inappropriate to manifest in their lives .
it is also because of the environment in which they may have grown up in or lastly bad influence.
A spirit, a curse or an influence are what contributes to unnatural affection.
In any case, it's either one becomes a victim or perpetrator.
Wether victim or perpetrator, there is slightly any difference based on experience because of what is involved eg A spirit, a curse or influence.
Many victims of sexual abuse are not innocent either.
it's either they have a certain spirit attracting the perpetrators to them .
This spirits may be inherited from ancestors or given to them unknowingly!
This has nothing to do with the innocence of the victims.
Many victims begin to do things that will have bad consequences and fail to adhere to instructions because they enter the second phase of a curse!
A family whose ancestors killed an innocent person may be placed under a curse by the one sacrificed that none of their daughters will be married to and that they will always be defiled!
That curse now begins to manifest from the 1st generation to the 3rd and their daughters always get sexually abused and defiled one way or the other.
lastly, the influence of a bad environment makes many victims experimental.
It's unfortunate that many of those who show unnatural affection only are imitators of what they have seen or learnt from a bad influence or environment.
However, they become a part of their life when they begin to do such evil things without no good guide or someone who disciplines them.
Jonadab was a bad influence and a bad counselor to Amnon.
Many sisters become bad examples and influence to their junior sisters as they allow them see their weaknesses and vulnerability with the opposite sex.
They teach their sisters pervert things and show them how to experiment with the opposite genders.
such direct influence will become costly to such who are influenced when they are alone.
in other words that influence is direct.

The indirect influence are the media today.
When many youths watch pornography, they suddenly begin to learn unnatural things and ways of sexual intercourse which makes them passionate about it and willing. to experiment.

some of the teens begin to experience the motions of sin in their members and this makes them to do what they wish not to do!
Romans 7:5 for when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
some begin to act like their role models, those whom they revere .
They fail to see that the consequences are death!
watch what you watch and hear.

spirits also influence certain celebrities today and influence their actions .

it is the reason why we are told, don't follow multitude to commit evil!

in today's modern world, youths become a partaker of any thing when they claim to be a fan or follower!!!!
eg IAM a fan of a famous celebrity, IAM a follower of a certain fashion style or trend.
I love this person etc.

These influences later shape the youths or their lifestyles than the word of God !
it is all a part of youthful exuberance but with the fear of God, one can overcome without natural affection!!!

influence can be personally, then to materially ie the things we now use , financially and physically all directed from a spiritual angle.
it will always manifest and sometimes because of ignorance , men pay a steep price.

LIFE AND TIME (Part 241)

LIFE: Living Into Future Enterprise.

TIME: Thinking Into Momentary Enterprise.

The obedience of the disciples to Jesus’ instruction brought them twelve full baskets of blessings.

Each time you ask God for blessings, you are directly saying; ‘Lord instruct me.’

Beloveth child of God, are you ready to be instructed?

The disciples had only two penny at hand, which may or may not be able to satisfy their own needs because they too were equally hungry.

The turning point was yielding to instruction out of LOVE.

The same disciples who complained earlier for not having, afterwards had their two penny and twelve baskets full of blessings.

1 Kings 17:8-16
[8] And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
[9] Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
[10] So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
[11] And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
[12] And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
[13] And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
[14] for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
[15] And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
[16] And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

Beloveth child of God, there is light at the end of every tunnel but only those who yield to divine instructions get through to the light.

Only obedience out of LOVE for GOD opens people’s eyes to the OASIS hidden in every desert.

To be continued…

Prayer: LORD, please give me grace to understand and obey your instructions in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen!

*REMEMBER: THE GREATEST DISABILITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS LACK OF LOVE.*

Thank you for your time and God bless you greatly…

I love you...

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17



Yesterday, we read about the state of the heart of man being very wicked. We also read about spiritual surgery which can bring about divine transformation. The work of redemption performed by Jesus Christ makes divine transformation possible.

In the Bible reading for today, we note the terrible things that man is capable of. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, unequivocally said that those who do those things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. However, he wrote: “And such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1st Corinthians 6:11

Our Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to Nicodemus about divine transformation when He said to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Being born of water and of the Spirit brings about divine transformation.

The mystery of the new birth cannot be explained by human reasoning except through the enlightenment by the Spirit of our God. for example, in the epistle of John: “He that commiteth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth form the beginning. for this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” 1st John 3:8-9

There are two main avenues for experiencing divine transformation: the first is genuine repentance; when a man voluntarily submits his will to God in obedience. The other one is the power in the blood of Jesus Christ; the blood of the new covenant us much more superior to the blood of the bull (Hebrews 10:4). Therefore, for divine transformation, Jesus Christ is the answer. I pray that all the necessary transformation you need to live an acceptable life before God will be given to you through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 

PRAYER
Father, please cleanse me from all impurities and let my life conform to Your original image.






by: Pastor E.A. Adeboye

I think in times past there has been some misunderstandings about healing, because people think that healing is only about what happens in the body, but it's about what happens in the spiritual first. It's important to understand healing according to God and not just our opinion of what healing is. Because, if God means one thing and we think something else then there will most likely be misunderstandings about healing. And in looking up the meaning of healing several had the same general idea--the removal or the taking away of sickness/disease/suffering. Now, understand this there can be an act of healing and yet not a manifestation of that healing. for example God told Abraham, I have made you a father of many nations and yet Romans 4:19 says, Abraham's body was dead and his wife's womb was dead yet God said he had made him a father of many nations. Naturally speaking a man with a dead body can't be a father of many nations so that would have to include that God had done something about his body, but notice what was done was not manifested, he had no way of verifying it by his senses. So, you can't wait until your senses can detect something to believe that God has done something. In Isaiah 53:4,5 it says, 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Now, here's the thing you can't base that by a condition in your flesh. Just like Abraham couldn't base what God said and did by his flesh which was contrary to what God said He did. Healing is a spiritual issue, healing is based on the spiritual, it is an act that takes place in the spiritual, and it manifests physically that's why you can't wait until your senses or your flesh can detect it to believe. Your body can tell you when you have received in the physical, not if God has done something in the spiritual. Sickness came from sin, well sin is an act of the spirit which makes it spiritual. So, sickness is spiritual at the roots, and it manifests physically. It's all about the spiritual. Jesus had to come here as a man because it was the act of a man that the creation fell by. So, Jesus had to come here in the state, spiritual state, not bodily state of a man not affected by sin which is all spiritual. So, healing has to take place in the spiritual first and it manifests physical. And the act of healing has already occurred in the spiritual. That's what Isaiah 53:4,5 is talking about. Notice, it says he bore our sicknesses and diseases and carried our afflictions that's the healing the removal of sickness and disease. God took them from mankind just like he did our sins and laid them on Jesus. That's why it says in 1 Peter 2:24 he bore our sins in his own body and by his stripes ye were healed(past tense not will be). The healing has taken place in the spiritual and that which was done in the spiritual can manifest physically.

To try to make things clear sickness originated in the spiritual so to deal with it it has to be dealt with on a spiritual level. If there was no sin there would be no sickness. Sickness in the body is a manifestation of sin spiritual, not your sin Adams sin. It's Adam's act of sin that brought sickness it goes all the way back to Adam. It's because of what Adam did that everyone after him has to face death one day. Notice, unless Jesus comes back first all of us will die physically, because of what Adam did spiritually. So, physical death is a manifestation of a spiritual act, sin. So, what is done spiritually causes things to manifest physically. Number 16:41-50 41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord. 42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared. 43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun. 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. 50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Notice something manifested physically because of something that was done spiritually. Notice, in both instance the plague and the stopping of it something was done in the spiritual for something to manifest in the physical. In Matthew 15:18,19 Jesus said, But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. What is the point Jesus is making, man is spirit and he resides in a body. Your body is in this physical realm, but you(spirit) resides in the spiritual so whatever you see a man doing physically it comes from the spirit man in the spirit realm. So, every physical action is tied to a spiritual action done in the spiritual. The body only does in response to the spirit man, so something has to be done spiritually for you to see it physically. Watch these two scriptures 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. The spirit man expresses himself through his body. 2 Corinthians 5:10 for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Notice, things done in the body not by the body so every physical action is a corresponding action of the spirit man. So, the plague and the stopping of the plague was done in the spiritual first. When they came against Moses that was a spiritual act that started that physical plague. And what Aaron did to make atonement was a spiritual act that caused that plague to stop in the physical.

That shows you that both sickness and healing starts in the spiritual and manifest physically. It's all about what's done in the spiritual not in the physical. So, sickness and healing is not just physical, but spiritual at the roots. And what's done at the roots will determine the fruit. Now, what happened in Numbers 16 and how does that relate to what Jesus did, let me give you an example The Holy Spirit showed my. In Numbers 16 atonement was made and atonement is the covering of sin. It's just like if I held a flame under my hand what would come from that flame, heat. So, as long as the flame is there the heat will be there, but if I take something and cover that flame my hand will stop getting the effect of that flame even though it is still there. That's what atonement does when the sin was covered they stopped getting the effect of it. What Jesus did is greater than that, Jesus didn't teach atonement of sin he taught remission of sin which mean to take away. Like in John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. And 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. So, what that means is back in the example of the flame under my hand in atonement the flame is covered, but in remission the flame is taken away. In atonement if what is covered ever becomes uncovered you will get the effect of it again, but in remission what was there is gone forever. Now, to make it clearer let's say in the example the flame is sin and the heat is sickness and disease when the sin is taken away the sickness and disease had to go with it. If you take the flame away will the heat stay, no. Wherever the flame is that's where the heat will be.

The same thing that was done with our sins was done with our sicknesses and diseases, Jesus bore them.**1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree. So, God took the sins of mankind and laid them on Jesus. And that's the same thing God did with our sicknesses and diseases.**Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. So, if you believe Jesus took your sins so likewise believe he took your sicknesses and diseases. Don't base what you believe by a sicknesses in your body. Now, understand how God sees it, it says Jesus bore ours and if he bore ours that leaves us free(in the spirit), just like Abraham was a father of many nations in the spirit yet while his body was dead physically. Notice, Romans 4:19 Being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb. In other words flesh was not his evidence of something being done by God. Abraham just received what God told him by faith. And if you are going to receive from God by faith flesh is not your evidence. What does Hebrews 11:1 say, 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Well, faith and the word are one Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. So, if it's by faith flesh is not your evidence the word is.

In Luke 17:12-14 the case of the 10 lepers: 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Notice, what Jesus told him, Your faith has made you whole so we are dealing with something that was done spiritually because faith deals with the spiritual. Notice, Jesus called them cleansed right in there condition, why? Because he was doing something on a spiritual level/in the spirit to be received physically by faith. Notice, what Jesus said in John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the son likewise. What did he see the Father do call Abraham a father of many nations while his body was contrary. Just as God called him a father of many nation while his body was dead, Jesus is calling them cleansed while they are still lepers because those things were done on a spiritual level/in the spirit not in the physical.

By Jesus sending them to the priest he is calling them cleansed, because you didn't go to the priest until after you had evidence of being cleansed, Jesus words was their evidence not there flesh. And as they went they were cleansed or as they went they received. But, something had to be done for them to receive. They couldn't stand there and wait until they looked or felt better had they done that they probably would have died with it. Healing takes place in the spiritual and the manifestation of it takes place in the physical, in your body. People don't understand the dispensation they are in-dispensation The method or scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards men is called a dispensation. According to the scriptures you are not in the dispensation of waiting on God, you are in the receiving dispensation, if He said you were healed how can you be waiting on him to heal. If I'm not mistaken were means something has already taken place. I liken receiving healing with eating out at a restaurant-you go to a restaurant, you give them your order/make your request, and then wait for them to fix it and bring it to you/meet your need, then after you are served you pay for it. That's how people think you get healed, they think you pray to God to be healed/make your request and then wait for him to do it, and after He do it then I'll thank him. That's not the dispensation you are in.

Notice, there is a different kind of restaurant where you pay first. When you pay first your provision is waiting on you and not you waiting on it. And your healing has already been paid for by the precious blood of Jesus. When you pay first you don't go sit down and wait to be served you help yourself. That's the dispensation we are in receiving and not waiting for the need to be met. In the first dispensation they don't start working to cure your hunger until you make your request, but in the second the cure for your hunger is made before any request is made. Sometimes people may think if the healing has been done why do I still have this condition, because they don't understand just the provision being made has no effect on you physically, it has to be received. Just like food is the cure for hunger and yet when you wake up in the morning you can have a refrigerator full of food, but that refrigerator full of food don't stop you from being hungry. That food has no effect on you until you receive it. So, just the provision being made doesn't help your hunger, it has to be received. And that's what God wants us to understand about healing our healing is there, but the healing being there in the spiritual realm doesn't stop the condition until you receive it. And when you receive it the condition will go. When you receive the food the hunger will go. Just like just the act of making Abraham a father of many nations had no effect on his body physically. It was done spiritually, but had no effect physically, because it had to be received. Same thing with the ten lepers something was done spiritually, but had no effect physically until it was received.

Don't base healing by a manifestation of a condition in your body base it on the word. Your flesh is not the evidence the word is. Proverbs 4:20-23 my son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Notice, God connects healing with the spiritual. That word health is translated-medicine, remedy, healing, cure. God says his word is medicine, remedy, healing, cure so his word works on a spiritual level. So, healing takes place in your body through your spirit. Treatment takes place through the body. Man's way of treatment is to put something in your body. God's way of healing is to put something in your spirit. When man tells you "There's no more they can do for you" that means it's past the point of treatment not past the point of healing. What man uses to treat you with is limited because everything they use comes from the creation. But, healing comes from the creator, Mark 10:27 says, what's impossible with man is possible with God, for with God all things are possible. What people have thought is that healing is just physical, but it's not. And when you think it's only physical then you will base healing by the manifestation of it and not the act of it. If God said you were healed what good would it do to wait for him to heal. Don't let flesh be your evidence, let the word be your evidence.

It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I was talking about this with a friend yesterday. "Don't break the hedge, or else the serpent will strike, and even if the son of Man will help, you will suffer the pain."

Last year, a man contacted me about having symptoms of HIV, which his family now shares. The problem is not the HIV itself, but that the hospital is saying they're negative. The doctors acknowledge the symptoms resemble those of HIV, but the tests show they are all negative.

He has sought help in several places with the same result. He asked me, "Sir, what can I do? Please pray for me." I told him HIV has one sure way of transmission, above all others. I had to ask him how it started, and then the explanation began.

A story of adulterous acts emerged, but things escalated with his last encounter. He tried to contact the woman involved, but she angrily refused to respond further.

He is now left alone with his problem as the woman has disappeared. I felt compelled to pray, but I sensed that until his wife agrees, my prayers might not suffice.

The next day, I inquired about his wife. He said the incidents started around 2020 and worsened by 2022 when he lost his job. As the sickness became a weekly ordeal for the family, his wife took their two children and left. I was ready to contact his wife directly, but the way he later spoke of her, noting she was the only one working, stopped me.

All I could advise him was to apologize to his wife. "The devil is not that strong against unity. The bridge was destroyed by one but must be mended by both of you. Only then will your prayers be meaningful," I concluded.

Here is my point: Some preach 'once saved, always saved,' but be careful—there are things you shouldn't do. When we discuss consecration, it doesn't just end with fornication or pornography; even a small lie is an abomination.

I know you are a new creature and all things are past, but check your family. What destroyed many of them? Are you not repeating the same mistakes?

The serpent will bite when we give it space—don't give it any. Here's the good news: there is a Savior. Just as the bronze snake was lifted up in the wilderness, and anyone who looked up was healed, so the Messiah is available. No matter the poison, He is still ready to amend both the amendable and the unamendable. He is calling your name like a father to a son, saying, "Come." Fornication may be sweet, but the repercussions are more costly than the sweetness. He is saying, "COME."

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Leave this notion of hyper-grace and 'I'm saved forever.' You've tarried enough here; "COME" is the message. Drop it all and come. He is ready to wash and clean you. Forget about praying daily, fasting, or being called 'papa.'

Come. He is saying, "Come," before it escalates further. "COME."

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.

John 3:14-15

ABUNDANT LIFE VISION
The New Wine. Matthew 9:14-17
One day the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus and asked him, “Why don’t your disciples fast like we do and the Pharisees do?” [15]Jesus replied, “Do wedding guests mourn while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. [16]“Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? for the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before. [17]“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. for the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved.” NLT.

Good morning dear friends, I welcome you to another teaching this morning, I pray that God will interpret His word in our hearts in Jesus name. We will discuss “The new wine” today. The first thing I want us to know is that the old always gives way to the new, God is not stagnant, He is a progressive God. When Jesus came, He met an existing system, however, what He wanted to implement could not stand on the existing structure. Therefore, what we have in Matthew 9:14-17 goes beyond the disciples of Jesus not fasting the way John and the Pharisees fasted.

Jesus was more concerned about establishing a new system that would guarantee a relationship between God and man which was lacking at that time before things like fasting. Romans 8:15-17: So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” [16]for his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. [17]And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. NLT. God wanted to build a relationship of father and son with us and He needed to put an end to the existing system that said other wise. God would never establish a perfect thing on a faulty foundation. He is a wise builder who builds on a solid foundation. Matthew 16:18-19: Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. [19]And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” NLT.

Therefore, the old system through the death and resurrection of Jesus is no longer valid and Jesus who has been raised as our High Priest has set up something better than what we used to have. One of the things Jesus has established is that we can be saved from our sins not because of what we have done right but because of the saving grace of God. Ephesians 2:8-9: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. [9]Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. NLT.

The new wine is the new system of salvation established by Jesus and if you are yet to experience this by giving your life to Jesus, I urge you to do so by saying this prayer wholeheartedly; Lord Jesus, I confess you as my Lord and saviour today, please save me and be my lord and bring me into your fold. Amen. If you have recited the prayer wholeheartedly, I congratulate you and I welcome you to the family of God. Make sure you join a bible believing church as you start your journey in Christ
.

God bless you.

When Jesus Christ was on the earth, his disciples were awed about the magnificent edifice of the temple and how glorious it looked like outwardly!
Mark 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The lord Jesus Christ gave them the shock of their lives when he prophesied about the coming destruction of the temple in Jerusalem
God who is the one operating in the life of his children sent his son Jesus Christ as the administrator and the Holyspirit which brings about the manifestation of the sons of God!

in truth, God didn't come to take buildings to heaven but souls !
This is where the problem of spiritual pride comes into play among the big churches!
The truth is that The Holy Trinity has left a lot of so called big churches because of their spiritual pride and the issue of not been able to see themselves in the sight of God .
it is a very big mistake for a Christian, a minister or church not to be able to see themselves in the sight of God nor examine themselves!

Matthew 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
it is also a very dangerous malady for a man of God not to be able to accept Corrections and rebukes sent by God from a little nobody man of God or from different unknown sources not according to the popular ways and doings of most of these so called denominational popular churches recognized by the world but no more prominent or recognized by God at all!!!

Without chastening, rebukes which are the rod and the staff which comforts us, how can we be in good stead in God's direction or how can we enter the kingdom of God?
Proverbs 3:11 my son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, my son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Now let us look at the following factors which had made most popular churches spiritually blind, deaf, dumb, foolish, reprobate and empty of the wisdom of God regarding their own spiritual situations and state before God.

1)FELLOWSHIP DISCRIMINATION: IT is not alien to see that some churches believe that they are the only christians in Nigeria or in the world and that others are not children of God!
so when other churches or members of other churches are preaching, speaking or talking, these people just ignore them or look down on them and despise all what the Holyspirit is doing through them entirely!
Isaiah 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
I would mention many churches here without respect of persons because this problem has created a divide in the body of Christ.
The C. A. C , Deeper life bible church, living faith mission, RCCG, WOSEM , Assemblies of God and most of their fathers who erred and never saw themselves in the 70s,80s and in the 90s because of their mistakes or spiritual pride have created a divide in the body of Christ called denominational discrimination!
Are we not children of God! Why are God's children seeing themselves as competitors than collaborators or united in the faith?
why do we keep hearing people pray ont he name of the men of God than the God of men?
who made all these Christian culture sacrosanct and a law which has defied unity of the spirit??
who is responsible for all these partitions?
I tell you that it is the ambitions of most of the founders and their mistakes, their followers and those who support the ministry outside God and the agents of the devil that is responsible for this divide and rule system of Christianity which is a false foundation today.
The discrimination policy has made God's houses den of thieves, marketplaces and trading centers than a HOUSE OF PRAYER!!!
Today, most churches are under rlock and key because God is not the owner but men!
Most churches which are suppose to be houses of prayer have become money making banks!
it is false prophets and heathens that have crept into many of these denominations.
we also have hirelings who see the work of God as a business and respect persons because of any form of advantage which will go against the Word of God.
Apostle James spoke of this sort of discrimination also in his own time.
James 2:1 my brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

2:2 for if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
To have respect of persons will because of spiritual pride water down the genuine state of saved souls and also water down the standard of God in the lives of people who will see God as one that is not to be respected or honoured.
Proverbs 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Romans 2:11 for there is no respect of persons with God.
Colossians 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
This is why also it has become impossible to effect church discipline from the top which is right in accordance with the Commandments and ordinances of God.
James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
The church in Antioch were united materially, physically, financially and spiritually.

No man claimed anything as their own even thought they brought it to the apostles feet!
no man did anything out of strife or spiritual pride .
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

so now we see that things without the unity of Christ or the spirit of God will result in spiritual pride which brings the work of the devil to pass .


2)DOCTRINAL DISCIPLINE AND DISCIPLESHIP:
IN the scripture we have a situation where we see some disciples of John the Baptist , the forerunner of Jesus Christ being baptized into John's Baptism but not the Holyspirit until after sometimes they heard that doctrine and were now baptized by the Apostle Paul .
Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples
19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
19:7 And all the men were about twelve.

It is foolish to know that some churches today only baptize in the name of the father and the son but not baptism of the Holyspirit!!!!
This also has created a divide doctrinally in the body of Christ and this present church age.
The ministry of Jesus Christ and the Apostles doctrines are fully encompassing of the Ministry of Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul once warned about those who refuse such doctrine as knowing nothing, proud and disobedient.
1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
Since the word of God is not for debate but for instruction , reproof and doctrine it is clear who those who reject some. doctrine of Christ for their own gain and not for the kingdom of God!
Any church that doesn't believe in deliverance is a play ground for demonic possession, captivity and reproach.
God first cast Satan and his angels out of heaven, meaning deliverance before he also delivered the children of Isreal from a kingdom replica of Satan's kingdom on earth eg Egypt!
After delivering them, Jesus Christ also came and proclaimed Judgment on Satan!!!!
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Jesus Christ the son of God also now cast out demons from people and healed the sick, the oppressed and set people free from demonic possession!!!

Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

However, some present day church age ministers deny the ministry of deliverance with lazy and false proclamations denying the very existence of demons !!!
some say we have been set free without addressing the root of demonic problems and foundations with God's axe of deliverance!!!!

Many roots of demonic possession and problems in the life of man we're not planted by God but Satan and his demons and fallen angels.

Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Therefore, any church that is not opening it's doors for deliverance ministry or ministers to come for ministration is a kingdom of Babylon automatically!
The Veil of spiritual pride that made them to reject deliverance is what will give ample room for Satan and his demons to operate freely.
The perils of the last days has made men selective hearers of the word and selective doers of the words of God.
Some will love demonic doctrines than true doctrines.
Great is the lord and greatly to be praised.
one thing we must note is that people will become followers of a particular man of God whose teachings of doctrines suit their self than pleasing God.
2 Timothy 4:3 for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
lack of sund doctrine will give room for demonic doctrines.

If you don’t believe me you don’t have to. I had a terrible experience with Shallipopi. He sleeps with women and adds their destinies to his. He is wicked and I pray he falls very soon. He used juju to get to where he is today. His mother also does a lot of rituals to “protect” her son.


This is not to slander him but to bring awareness to a lot of artists like him.

He's also not 24. He is 28 years old 12/04/1996.

Transcript

It is a great privilege for me to be here this evening with you. And in a way, it is a great blessing that you cannot see me, some of you. And it is for this reason: You do not need to see a man, nor do you need to see the movements of a man. You need to see Christ. And we need the power and the movement of the Holy Spirit. When we cannot see much of a man, that does not limit us. But without a vision of Jesus Christ, we are ruined. I’m not here tonight to talk about men, or to talk about church, or religion. for all those things have their failures and flaws. Every one of you can stand up and make accusations against these things. Men are weak and sinful. Religion is sometimes weak and failing. But Christ: there is no one like Christ. He’s the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He’s the son of God. He is infinite perfection. He is strong. He is mighty. He has never failed, and He has fulfilled every promise He has ever made. You have no argument against Him. for there is no one like Him. He and He alone is the Savior of the world and the Christ of God.

This evening you need Christ. You need a vision of Christ. If you’re here this evening and you consider yourself to be atheist, I know this: One small glimpse of Christ, and your atheism will be destroyed by His power. And if you are a believer here tonight, and you are struggling with sin, and you lack zeal and motivation, one glimpse of Jesus Christ will give you all that you need to live the Christian life. So it’s all about Christ. What do you think of Him? for that is the very basis of God’s judgment of men. While it is true that one day you will stand before God and be judged with regard to your sin, you must understand that the greatest question on that day will be this: What think ye of Jesus Christ? What have you done with Christ?

Now let’s open up our Bibles to the book of Colossians 1:16-22. “for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. for it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach.” Let’s pray.

Father, I come before You this evening with a great and a heavy burden. Lord, I know that I am taking upon myself a task that I cannot complete. It would be easier for me to count the stars in the heavens or to number these grains of sand on the seashore. But to describe the greatness and the glory and the power of Your son goes beyond all human invention. No words can express Him. No intellect can grasp Him, whether they be human or angelic. That You have exalted the name of Your son above all things, so that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. And it will be for Your good pleasure and Your glory.

Father, we are filled with religion. We are filled with knowledge, and we are filled with apathy and the lack of the fear of the Lord. But Father, one glimpse of Christ, one glimpse of His power and His glory, one glimpse of Your love and His face, will make our sleeping go away and fill us with joy unspeakable. Lord, we need Christ. We don’t need a man. We don’t need a preacher. We need Him. Lord I pray, let me stutter, let me speak as a mule, let me fall from this platform; but O God, that men might catch a glimpse of Jesus Christ. His power. His glory. That they might be humbled by that, and saved by that heavenly vision. O God, rend the heavens and come down. Speak to men. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Now look in verse 16. “for by Him all things were created.” It doesn’t matter who you are tonight. You may claim to be atheist and agnostic. You may be a hater of all religion and even a hater of God. The very mention of Christ may set your blood to boiling. You may consider yourself an enemy of the cross. But know this: Jesus Christ created you. And in that, He has a claim upon you. He is your Maker; and by virtue of that, He is also your Possessor, your Owner. And not only does He take ownership, but He is also Lord. You say, “I do not see that. Where is His throne?” Know this, that God has appointed a day in which He will judge every man, through this One who was crucified by wicked men—Jesus Christ. His throne is coming. His judgment is near. And on that day when He judges, everyone will recognize His right to judge because He is judging the very thing He has made.

Do you also realize the absolute arrogance of seeking to live independently from Him? The Bible says He made you. And not only that, but He sustains you. It is the great truth of Christianity that God created the world. But He did not leave it to itself. He sustains the world. In the same way know this: God created you and He sustains you. The next breath you take comes from Christ. Your heart beats in the next few minutes only because of Jesus Christ. Can you see how insane it is to seek to live independently from Him? Imagine a man laying in a hospital. And he’s unconscious, and he is connected to a life support system – several tubes that keep him alive. And every once in a while, the man wakes up, and like a wild animal, he grabs at the tubes and he tries to pull them out of his arm. He tries to destroy the life support system. He must be laid down in the bed once more and tied down because in his fit of insane rage he is going to kill himself. That is the perfect description of man without Christ. Like a wild animal, like an insane man, you seek to live separately from the very One who is the source of life.

But the Bible says, “By Him all things were created.” But not only that, this prepositional phrase “by Him” can also be interpreted “in Him”. That all things were created in Christ. Now what does that mean? Reality is found in Christ alone. Everything outside of the person of Jesus Christ is false. It is wrong. It is without meaning. It has no reason. It is absurd and insane. So is the life lived outside of Christ. It has no meaning. It lives in an unreal world, a delusion. Look around at your world. Look what you see. Everything is a vain delusion. From business to advertising to the media, it is all a delusion. It will all pass away. Yesterday I was born, today I stand here, tomorrow I die. And the same can be said of you. And to chase after any thing except that which is eternal is absolutely insane. To give yourself for those things that will pass away is an absurdity. To live for anyone other than Christ is to set yourself outside of the will and good pleasure of God.

There’s something that you must understand about God the Father. His son is everything to Him. Every thing the Father has ever done, He has done it for His son. He created the world in His son. He reveals Himself to the world through His son. He redeems the world through His son. And He judges the world through His son. And He has done it all for the glory of His son. God has a correct view of things. for you to consider unimportant what God considers most important, is absolutely insane. I said something the other night, and I will repeat it now. I can tell you who your God is by just asking you one question: What do you think about most? What fills your thoughts the most? Do you see how insane we are? We look in the mirror at our own image more than we look to Christ. We worry about things in this world more than we concern ourselves with Christ. And yet, I can assure you, Christ is foremost in every thought of God. And Christ is foremost in the thoughts of every being that finds its dwelling place in Heaven.

This is proved in the next phrase. It says, “for by Him all things were created, both in Heaven and on earth.” The world is important to God. Men are important to God. But be careful that your heart not be lifted up in arrogance because the world of men is not the only thing that God possesses. It is not even the greatest of His possessions. for all of Heaven belongs to God. And we know from Scripture that there are countless splendid created beings who exist in Heaven for only one purpose: the worship of God. Dr. Tozer, many years ago, said something very important, and we will do well to listen. “If all men on the earth were to suddenly become blind, it would not diminish the glory of the sun, or the moon, or the stars.” In the same way, if all men were to be atheist, it would not diminish the glory of God. If He lost the entire world, if every man turned away, if there was no redemptive plan in the heart of God, He would still be worshiped throughout eternity by an infinite number of created beings more splendid than ourselves.

“By Christ all things were created, both in the heavens and on the earth, visible and invisible.” In these two words we find one of our greatest problems. We trust our eyes, we trust our senses, more than we trust the Word of God. You live based on what you can see. You live based on what you can feel. And, most importantly, you live based upon what other men tell you. And you do not realize that the invisible world is more a reality than the one you can see. This is not the reality. The reality is that which is set before us in the Word of God. It is what Christ has said, because one day, all of this will pass away like a vapor, like a piece of cloth that will be rolled up and taken away. Like dry wood, it will be burned up. And on that day, you will know what is truly real, and the Word of God will be vindicated. And some of you will rejoice in that. But others of you will realize that you’ve lived for a wrong thing, and you have lost all things.

AFRICANS BE ON YOUR GUARD CONCERNING A SO-CALLED "ANTI-RACIST" WHITE AMERICAN CALLED JANE ELLIOTT


Jane Elliott is seen mostly by White America as an "anti-racist" educator but conscious Black Americans are cautious about her.

Jane Elliott is the teacher who in 1968 carried out the “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise on a class of children. She is an elderly woman now but is being used by White Supremacy to deceive and confuse Black and non-White peoples. Upon all her talk confessing that Whites have been cruel to Black people she is clear-eyed and does not support anything that will give Black Americans POWER.
Whites know that POWER is where it matters - and Reparations is the only means of justly correcting the power imbalance between White America and Black America so you find that the "anti-racist" Jane Elliott is against Reparations for Black America. Thus Whites would remain in control of Black lives as has been the case since Africans were shipped there as cargo, naked and in chains to serve Whites in every way that Whites decided they wanted to be served.

White Supremacy is using her in at least these two ways that we should be aware of:

1. Jane Elliott shouts that there is only one Race: the Human Race. Well, Black people have never doubted that. It is White culture that says that Whites are a superior Race. So Elliott and Whites should own up to their rotten culture on Race and stop putting Black people in the same basket that Whites are in when it comes to matters of Race. Black people have never been involved in racially debasing others like Whites have been doing for centuries. It is therefore for White people to deal with their issues around inferiorizing others.
Black people have always known that all mankind are one Race. We are one Race but we are not the same people. (That difference there must be maintained.)


2. Jane Elliott disingenuously says it is IGNORANCE that is behind White Supremacy!!! Therefore, with "education" White people will stop their supremacist and racist behavior and culture. That is absolute nonsense. White Supremacy is a bargain with the devil. It is a bargain that if Whites will lie about the purpose of the Gospel (it is about Liberation for the oppressed), lie about who the son of God is and His identity, and make Him white, plus also lie to change His Hebrew name into a European one, then the devil will help them devise weapons technology to kill humans with, and with which they can enslave, dominate and colonize the world, and kill others for land grabbing, and spread the message of White Supremacy using White Theology that says things like Africans are cursed and are born to be slaves; and things like God gave White people the countries of America and Canada whereas those lands were grabbed by genocide, guile, breaking of treaties, and fraud. This bargain with the devil is similar to the one Satan tried with the son of God by tempting Him that if He was to worship Satan, Satan would give Him all the kingdoms of the world. White people took up that bargain as we see from their history in this world. White Supremacy and colonisation of the world through terror (killing, stealing, and destroying - fortified with lying) is their reward for keeping their side of the bargain with the devil. Just as it is IMPOSSIBLE for the devil to change through "education", so too it is impossible for White Supremacy to change through education.


This worldwide and centuries-long diabolical deception has been so strong that up to today some Black people have a strong faith that the White man is an expert in all things religious (and non-religious). Those who cannot shake off this deception will be left behind because total LIBERATION of the Black man is the destination of the GenZ generation.

(Here is the bargain that Whites made with the devil but which the son of God refused:
Matthew 4:8-9
Again, the devil took Him [Master Yeshua] up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them. And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I [Satan] will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me.)


So, Black people it is Yahuwah Himself who will take down White Supremacy - as we take responsibility to identify and reject the Tools that White Supremacy uses and needs. But we as a people must covenant with Yahuwah to worship Him in spirit and in truth. That means we repent of our worship of Mammon (riches), repent of our admiration for Whites and the things they sell, and turn to living in harmony and respect for our people. Then Yahuwah will send us Revival. Look in the Books of Revelation and Daniel and you will see that our unique appearance (woolly hair and brown skin) makes us the closest in appearance to the son of God, and that is a great privilege any people can be given.


(2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.)

2 Kings 2:23–24 — The New International Version (NIV)

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys

Many have wondered why did an All Merciful God back the curse of Elisha and killed kids that just made fun of a bald headed man! These were just kids behaving as most kids would . Most of us here even did worse as boys.
So why would 42 children be sacrificed for Elisha? Was he so special? Was is life more important than any other life talkless of 42. How would you feel if your boys were among ?
Personally, I think this story doesn’t add up! The loving God I know who Jesus presented to us in the New Testament will not do such.
The God who did not kill or maim the people who killed his own son, Jesus will not harm 42 small boys!
The God who did not kill the Romans that persecuted and killed the apostles will never cause such massacre.

Matthew 22:37-40 (New International Version)
“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

If you love your neighbour as yourself you won’t pray for 42 boys to be mauled by wild animals!
I think the authors of the book of Kings who are not really known should not have attributed the gruesome mass killing of 42 boys to a loving God who Sacrificed His only son to redeem man.
Jesus who is our only role model and who is the only authentic mouthpiece of God should be our only guide in our Christian Journey! Up to the point of death, he prayed to God for the forgiveness of his killers. That is the true God I know and worship!

- APRIL 20 -
ALREADY BELOVED, ALREADY QUALIFIED

I received an awesome testimony from twenty-five-year-old Nathan from New York, who grew up with no father figure in his life except a man whom his mother married and who beat him regularly from the time he was three. Nathan struggled with his identity, his addictions, and his anger. But his turning point came when he learned that his Daddy God loves him. He wrote:

I heard a sermon of yours about being God’s beloved. I had never heard someone speak about Jesus as someone who died for my sins because He loved me so much. I thought there was no way anyone would die for me if they knew what I’d done. But the love I felt as I listened was something I’d never experienced before.

I had to know more, so I bought your book Destined To Reign, and the Lord’s words through your book changed my life . . . I’ve dropped every bad habit—everything—in my past and have given myself to the Lord Jesus Christ. Every day seems new to me, and I see life in a different light now. I know that I have a Father in heaven who loves and accepts me. I know that He hears my prayers and won’t be slow to answer them.

In the same way, I pray you will have a revelation that you are right now loved by the Father and close to His heart. That your Daddy God always hears your prayers and is more than able and willing to lift you out of every dark pit and set you in His love and light.

Right now, I want you to do something: close your eyes and just say, “Daddy.”

That’s a prayer right there. In fact, that’s the deepest, most intimate prayer you can pray. Call upon your Daddy God because He loves you and cares for you. You never did anything to make Him fall in love with you. And beloved, there is nothing you can do, nothing you could have done, that will ever take away His love for you.

I want you to know today that as a child of God, you don’t need to qualify for His love in any way. You are already His beloved. You may feel that you are far away from Him, but your Father sees you. He has been watching and waiting for you to come home, ready to sprint toward you to embrace you. He wants to lavish His love and kisses on you, over and over again.

You don’t need to earn your Daddy’s love. ALL that He has is already yours. He’s not asking you to serve Him in order to earn His blessings. ALL that He has, He has already freely and unconditionally given to you.

He gave up His only son to die an agonizing death on the cross for the chance that you might one day accept His love. So come. Come to the Father. Come with all your failings, with all your brokenness, with all your inadequacies.

Come as you are. As you realize that you are the object of His love, I pray that whatever is negative or destructive will be flushed out from your life and you will experience breakthrough after breakthrough like never before.

This devotional is taken from the book 100 Days of Right Believing—Daily Readings from The Power of Right Believing.

Christian A – Why do Muslims worship the Kaaba? Is that not idolatry? The Kaaba was know to be an Idol worship center so why do you chose it as a direction you face during prayer? Is Allah same as Hubal? Is Allah Baal? Is Allah the moon god?

Abu – You don’t need to ask all the questions at a go! I know you have preconceived opinions about Islam as regards all these so ask gently and one at a time. We can cover what we can today and continue another day. Be calm!

Christian A – Okay. Why do Muslims worship the Kaaba when Kaaba is neck deep in Idolatry? Let’s start from there!

Abu – That’s a good question. Where did you get the notion that Muslims worship the Kaaba from? Worship includes command, intention and then action of worship! Who commanded Muslims to worship the stone? Do think anyone has the intention to worship the stone at Kaaba?

Christian A – I see it. People who go to Mecca (for Pilgrimage) bow to the black stone. All Muslims too pray to the black stone. This is evidence they worship the black stone! That is idolatry!

Abu - Will you calm down please! This is not a fight! From the Muslim’s belief where do you think Allah is physically?

Christian A – Allah like God should be present everywhere!

Abu – That’s false! Allah says many times in the Qur’an that He rose over His throne which is above the seven heavens! Allah is only present everywhere by His Omniscient Knowledge.

Christian A – Okay so how is that related to you guys worshipping the Kaaba?

Abu – Muslims bow facing the Kaaba according to the command of Allah in the Qur’an. At the start of Islam the Muslims faced the temple in Jerusalem during prayers till Allah changed it.

Do you think they were earlier worshipping the temple in Jerusalem in idolatry?


Christian A – No! They wouldn’t worship the temple in Jerusalem. The Temple in Jerusalem was never used for idolatry like the Kaaba!

Abu – Did you see any idols being worshipped within the Kaaba?

Christian A – No, but there are hundreds of idols within it before.

Abu – The message of Islam is against Idolatry. I told you earlier that the Allah we worship is above the seven heavens. He is not the Black stone of the Kaaba. Do you agree Muslims worship Allah alone?

Christian A – Yes! But why bow to the stone and some kisses it? Why pray facing it?

Abu – We bow to worship Allah and we face the Kaaba based on Allah’s command in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Christian A – That is idolatry!

Abu – It is Biblical!

Christian A – How is it Biblical? Don’t start another heresy!

Abu – I told you earlier that Muslims were praying facing Jerusalem before which you agree is not idolatry! If you didn’t see any idols in the Kaaba how will you say it is idolatry?

Christian A – Okay, It is not proven that idols are in Kaaba today but it was in the past.

Abu: When the Muslims took over the Kaaba all the idols were destroyed! Initially, the foundation of the Kaaba was raised by Prophets Abraham and his son Ishmael! So we believe it was initially for the worship of Allah!

Christian A – Alright, I get that. So, the idolators took it from the descendants of Ishmael and used it for idolatry later.

Abu – Yes! So what remains of your worship of the Kaaba by Muslims?

Christian A – It is awkward to bow to stones in worship to Allah over the heavens!

Abu – But that is Biblical.
Here are the Biblical verses. I don’t quote the Qur’an since you are yet to believe in it with sincerity!

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises. I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else. Psalm 138:1-2

1 Kings 8:29
May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, 'my Name shall be there,' so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

Psalm 5:7
But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

Psalm 28:2
Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Christian A Waoh! It’s like I have never read those verses before in the Bible. This is amazing!

Abu – Yes, but know that we only worship Allah has He has commanded through His final Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wasalam)

Christian A Now I get it. The Kaaba is like the Sanctuary of Allah as mentioned in that Bible verse!

Abu Exactly! It is the House of Allah as Allah attributed it to Himself!

It is narrated in al-Bukhaari (1597) and Muslim (1270) that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) the second Caliph after the Prophet said of the Black Stone when he kissed it: “By Allaah, I know that you are only a stone and you can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Messenger of Allaah kissing you I would not have kissed you.” So when we Muslims pray facing the direction of the Ka’bah, we do so because Allaah has commanded us to do that. If he had commanded us to pray facing in any other direction, we would have had to do that.
I think we can continue some other time!
Are you now convinced that Muslims don’t worship the Kaaba?
Christian A – Yes. I will look for those verses you said myself where Muslims were facing Jerusalem before. I know Muslims worship Allah alone and they say Allah is just one!

Abu Yes, Allah is just one!

Christian A – Thank you for the patience!

Abu Bye! Let’s meet again!

You can check up the verses below later at your free time!

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The fools (pagans, hypocrites, and Jews) among the people will say, ‘What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah (prayer direction (towards Jerusalem)) to which they were used to face in prayer?’ Say, (O Muhammad SAW) ‘To Allah belong both, east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a Straight Way.’

Thus We have made you (true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways)), a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) be a witness over you. And We made the Qiblah (prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from those who would turn on their heels (i.e., disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allah guided. And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e., your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allah is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.

Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad’s SAW) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the Scriptures (i.e., Jews and the Christians) know well that, that (your turning towards the direction of the Ka‘bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.”
[al-Baqarah 2:142-144].

Al-Bukhaari (41) narrated from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib that when the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) first came to Madinah, he stayed with his grandfathers or his maternal uncles among the Ansaar, and he prayed facing towards Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months. But he wanted his qiblah to be towards the Ka‘bah. The first prayer he offered (after the qiblah was changed) was ‘Asr prayer, and some people prayed with him. Then one of the men who had prayed with him went out and passed by some people who were praying in a mosque, and they were bowing. He said: I bear witness by Allah that I (just) prayed with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) facing towards Makkah. And they turned around, as they were, to face towards the Ka‘bah. The Jews and the People of the Book used to like it when he prayed facing towards Bayt al-Maqdis, and when he turned to face towards the Ka‘bah, they did not like that.

Muslim (527) narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray towards Bayt al-Maqdis, then it was revealed: “Verily, We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad’s) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Haraam (at Makkah)” [al-Baqarah 2:144]. A man passed by Banu Salamah whilst they were bowing in Fajr prayer, and they had prayed one rak'ah. He called out: The qiblah has been changed, and they turned as they were towards the qiblah.

Muslim also narrated (526) that Ibn ‘Umar said: Whilst the people were praying Fajr in Quba’, someone came to them and said: Revelation came to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) last night and he was commanded to face towards the Ka‘bah, so face towards it. They were facing towards Syria, so they turned to face the Ka‘bah.

This man did not preach himself, but preached Joseph and Jesus Christ

THE TESTAMENT OF BENJAMIN - 1

[Benjamin 1:1-46]

Benjamin, son of Jacob and Rachel, Preaches "Joseph as Role Model and Example to follow Joseph's Footsteps"

*1* THE copy of the words of Benjamin, which he commanded his sons to observe, after he had lived a hundred and twenty-five years.

*2* And he kissed them, and said: "As Isaac was born to Abraham in his old age, so also was I to Jacob.

*3* And since Rachel my mother died in giving me birth, I had no milk; therefore I was suckled by Bilhah her handmaid.

*4* for Rachel remained barren for twelve years after she had borne Joseph; and she prayed the Lord with fasting twelve days, and she conceived and bore Me.

*5* for my father loved Rachel dearly, and prayed that he might see two sons born from her.

*6* Therefore was I called Benjamin, that is, "A son of days."

*7* And when I went into Egypt, to Joseph, and my brother recognized me, he asked me: "What did they tell my father when they sold me?"

*8* And I said to him, "They dabbled your coat with blood and sent it, and said: "Know whether this be your son's coat."

*9* And he said to me: "Even so, brother, when they had stripped me of my coat they gave me to the Ishmaelites, and they gave me a loin cloth, and scourged me, and bade me run."

*10* And as for one of them that had beaten me with a rod, a lion met him and killed him.

*11* And so his associates were afraid."

*12* Therefore, my children, you must also love the Lord God of heaven and earth, and keep His commandments, following the example of the good and holy man Joseph.

*13* And let your mind be to good, even as you know me; for he that has his mind right sees all things rightly.

*14* Fear you the Lord, and love your neighbour; and even though the spirits of Beliar claim you to afflict you with every evil, yet shall they not have dominion over you, even as they had not over Joseph my brother.

*15* How many men wished to kill him, and God shielded him!

*16* for he that fears God and loves his neighbour cannot be smitten by the spirit of Beliar, being shielded by the fear of God.

*17" Nor can he be ruled over by the device of men or beasts, for he is helped by the Lord through the love which he has towards his neighbour.

*18* for Joseph also besought our father that he would pray for his brethren, that the Lord would not impute to them as sin whatever evil they had done to him.

*19* And thus Jacob cried out: "my good child, you have prevailed over the bowels of your father Jacob."

*20* And he embraced him, and kissed him for two hours, saying:

*21* "In you shall be fulfilled the prophecy of heaven concerning the Lamb of God, and Saviour of the world, and that a blameless One shall be delivered up for lawless men, and a sinless One shall die for ungodly men in the blood of the covenant, for the salvation of the Gentiles and of Israel, and shall destroy Beliar and his servants."

*22* See you, therefore, my children, the end of the good man?

*23* Be followers of his compassion, therefore, with a good mind, that you also may wear crowns of glory.

*24* for the good man does not have a dark eye; for he shows mercy to all men, even though they are sinners.

*25* And though they devise with evil intent concerning him, by doing good he overcomes evil, being shielded by God; and he loves the righteous as his own soul.

*26* If any one is glorified, he does not envy him; if any one is enriched, he is not jealous; if any one is valiant, he praises him; the virtuous man he lauds; on the poor man he has mercy; on the weak he has compassion; to God he sings praises.

*27* And him that has the grace of a good spirit he loves as his own soul.

*28* If therefore, you also have a good mind, then will both wicked men be at peace with you, and the profligate will reverence you and turn to good; and the covetous will not only cease from their inordinate desire, but even give the objects of their covetousness to them that are afflicted.

*29* If you do well, even the unclean spirits will flee from you; and the beasts will dread you.

*30* for where there is reverence for good works and light in the mind, even darkness flees away from him.

*31* for if any one does violence to a holy man, he repents; for the holy man is merciful to his reviler, and holds his peace.

*32* And if any one betrays a righteous man, the righteous man prays: though for a little he is humbled, yet not long after he appears far more glorious, as was Joseph my brother.

*33* The inclination of the good man is not in the power of the deceit of the spirit of Beliar, for the angel of peace guides his soul.

*34* And he gazes not passionately on corruptible things, nor gathers together riches through a desire of pleasure.

*35* He does not delight in pleasure, he does not grieve his neighbour, he does not sate himself with luxuries, he does not err in the uplifting of the eyes, for the Lord is his portion.

*36* The good inclination does not receive glory nor dishonour from men, and it does not know any guile, or lie, or fighting or reviling; for the Lord dwells in him and lights up his soul, and he rejoices towards all men always.

*37* The good mind does not have two tongues, of blessing and of cursing, of contumely and of honour, of sorrow and of joy, of quietness and of confusion, of hypocrisy and of truth, of poverty and of wealth; but it has one disposition, uncorrupt and pure, concerning all men.

*38* It has no double sight, nor double hearing; for in everything which he does, or speaks, or sees, he knows that the Lord looks on his soul.

*39* And he cleanses his mind that he may not be condemned by men as well as by God.

*40* And in like manner the works of Beliar are twofold, and there is no singleness in them.

*41* Therefore, my children, I tell you, flee the malice of Beliar; for he gives a sword to them that obey him.

*42* And the sword is the mother of seven evils. First the mind conceives through Beliar, and first there is bloodshed; secondly ruin; thirdly, tribulation; fourthly, exile; fifthly, dearth; sixthly, panic; seventhly, destruction.

*43* 'Therefore was Cain also delivered over to seven vengeances by God, for in every hundred years the Lord brought one plague on him.

*44* And when he was two hundred years old he began to suffer, and in the nine-hundredth year he was destroyed.

*45* for on account of Abel, his brother, with all the evils was he judged, but Lamech with seventy times seven.

*46* Because forever those, who are like Cain in envy and hatred of brethren, shall be punished with the same judgement.

THE TESTAMENT OF BENJAMIN - 2

[Benjamin 2:1-33]

Benjamin, son of Jacob and Rachel, Preaches "Jesus Christ"

*1* AND do you, my children, flee evil-doing, envy, and hatred of brethren, and cleave to goodness and love.

*2* He that has a pure mind in love, does not look after a woman with a view to fornication; for he has no defilement in his heart, because the Spirit of God rests on him.

*3* for as the sun is not defiled by shining on dung and mire, but rather dries up both and drives away the evil smell; so also the pure mind, though surrounded by the defilements of earth, rather cleanses them and is not itself defiled.

*4* And I believe that there will be also evil-doings among you, from the words of Enoch the righteous: that you shall commit fornication with the fornication of Sodom, and shall perish, all except a few, and shall renew wanton deeds with women; and the kingdom of the Lord shall not be among you, for straightway He shall take it away.

*5* Nevertheless the temple of God shall be in your portion, and the last temple shall be more glorious than the first.

*6* And the twelve tribes shall be gathered together there, and all the Gentiles, until the Most High shall send forth His Salvation in the visitation of an only-begotten Prophet.

*7* And He shall enter into the first temple, and there shall the Lord be treated with outrage, and He shall be lifted up on a tree.

*8* And the veil of the temple shall be rent, and the Spirit of God shall pass on to the Gentiles as fire poured forth.

*9* And He shall ascend from Hades and shall pass from earth into heaven.

*10* And I know how lowly He shall be on earth, and how glorious in heaven.

*11* Now when Joseph was in Egypt, I longed to see his figure and the form of his countenance; and through the prayers of Jacob my father I saw him, while awake in the daytime, even his entire figure exactly as he was."

*12* And when he had said these things, he said to them: "Know you therefore, my children, that I am dying."

*13* Therefore, Do you truth each one to his neighbour, and keep the law of the Lord and His commandments.

*14* for these things are the things I leave to you instead of inheritance.

*15* Therefore, do also give them to your children for an everlasting possession; for so did both Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.

*16* for all these things they gave us for an inheritance, saying: "Keep the commandments of God, until the Lord shall reveal His Salvation to all Gentiles."

*17* And then shall you see Enoch, Noah, and Shem, and Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, rising on the right hand in gladness,

*18* Then shall we also rise, each one over our tribe, worshipping the King of heaven, who appeared on earth in the form of a Man in humility.

*19* And as many as believe on Him on the earth shall rejoice with Him.

*20* Then also all men shall rise, some to glory and some to shame.

*21* And the Lord shall judge Israel first, for their unrighteousness; because when He appeared as God in the flesh to deliver them they did not believe Him.

*22* And then shall He judge all the Gentiles, as many as did not believe Him when He appeared on earth.

*23* And He shall convict Israel through the chosen ones of the Gentiles, even as He reproved Esau through the Midianites, who deceived their brethren, so that they fell into fornication, and idolatry; and they were alienated from God, becoming therefore children in the portion of them that fear the Lord.

*24* If you therefore, my children, walk in holiness according to the commandments of the Lord, you shall again dwell securely with me, and all Israel shall be gathered to the Lord.

*25* And I shall no longer be called a ravening wolf on account of your ravages, but a worker of the Lord distributing food to them that work what is good.

*26* And there shall arise in the latter days one beloved of the Lord, of the tribe of Judah and Levi, a doer of His good pleasure in His Mouth, with new knowledge enlightening the Gentiles.

*27* Until the consummation of the age shall He be in the synagogues of the Gentiles, and among their rulers, as a strain of music in the mouth of all.

*28* And He shall be inscribed in the holy books, both His work and His word, and He shall be a chosen One of God forever.

*29* And through them He shall go to and fro as Jacob my father, saying: "He shall fill up that which lacks of your tribe."

*30* And when he had said these things he stretched out his feet.

*31* And died in a beautiful and good sleep.

*32* And his sons did as he had enjoined them, and they took up his body and buried it in Hebron with his fathers.

*33* And the number of the days of his life was a hundred and twenty-five years.

When DJ Anyaloko....the journalist interviewing 2Face Idibia asked him why he chose to marry Annie Idibia out of all the women in his life ?
He relaxed back on his sit, took a deep breathe in reflection and gently answered her with this:
“You see, Perro Adeniyi who gave birth to my first son graduated from a top UK University as a medical student and is now a doctor.

She is very beautiful and intelligent from a very wealthy family”. He continued “Sandra who gave birth to my other two kids is a dealer in expensive diamond and gold jewelries. She was already a multi-millionaire when I met her, she owns one of the most expensive houses in Banana Island. Her family too are very well to do”. He took another deep breathe and continued “Sumbo who gave birth to 2 kids for me is also a very intelligent first class Lawyer. She has worked on and won many big cases for so many wealthy men and women in this country and abroad, that’s how she made her money and she Too is very beautiful as well”.

Then with a loving gentle smile on his Face he took another deep breathe and said this “But you see Annie is from an average background like myself, we both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus and trekked with me, when there was no money or house or hit songs or or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades, when I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look into my eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasn’t handsome, she would call me her Prince Charming, when I wasn’t celebrated, she called me her KING and said she is my number one fan and to this day she still is. Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies.

Now if I was still that poor boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a Doctor, a Lawyer and a multi-millionaire business woman will want to look at me twice or even have my kids? NO. So to answer your question, I didn’t chose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very little”
